Student charged with making threat after social media post

Orville Steele

Police arrested a Vicksburg High School student Thursday morning in connection with making a threat of violence against the school. The identity of the student, who police said is not now attending the school, was not released because they are a juvenile.

The Peyton school threat is only the latest in the string of alleged threats made at schools in El Paso and Pueblo County.

The Associated Press generally does not publish the identities of juvenile suspects.

Somersworth High School is attached to the middle school; more than 800 students are on campus daily.

Belen is 30 miles south of Albuquerque.

The incident marked the third arrest or citation handed out to a Utah student this week for making threats. According to Jefferson County Public Schools, approximately sixty students reported the threat on the Safe2Tell app and another 200 dialed 911. In addition to the criminal charges, the two students face possible suspension or expulsion.

Atwal was invited to dine with Trudeau at a formal event hosted by Canadian High Commissioner to India Nadir Patel on Thursday. Trudeau, while interacting with reporters here, expressed disappointment over the fiasco committed by the Canadian side.

The student is in custody at the Wayne County Juvenile Detention Facility awaiting a detention hearing.

Police reviewed the post and brought in the suspect's mother, and talked to him as well, and came to the determination he had indeed made the threatening post. "Our school resource officer was a huge asset in this".

"Unfortunately in today's society with Facebook Live and Chat and all this stuff, people just don't understand the consequences of these kind of situations, and we take them all very seriously". "It's scary, you know, and I'm still telling them, 'Hey, if you see somebody that's an outcast, pull them in".
